Whether as stationary display units, robust outdoor devices, or embedded systems – field housings from Phoenix Contact with a high degree of protection are ideal for many areas of application, such as building automation, logistics, and vehicle technology. A comprehensive range of accessories such as displays, membrane keypads, and wall and mast brackets increase the variety of applications.
Phoenix Contact is providing new covers for the UM-BASIC/-PRO extruded profiles that can accommodate different hoods at the same time. This enables the profile to be completely covered without additional lids on the PCB. This gives you more usable space, because keep-out areas are no longer required.
Main features
Degree of protection: IP20
Width of the covering hoods: 73 mm and 108 mm
Covering hood material: PC
Covering lid material: PA
Covering lids for profiles for PCBs with width: 108 mm
Your Advantages
Optimum protection of the electronics by covering the entire profile length
More usable area on the PCB as keep-out areas are no longer required
Reduced number of parts simplifies handling and lowers mounting costs
Quick, tool-free installation saves time and increases productivity
Safe touch protection prevents mechanical influences on the electronics

OCS outdoor housings
OCS series electronics housings are the ideal choice for autonomous device systems in extreme environments. The certified polycarbonate housings are lightweight and resistant, so they permanently and reliably protect your electronics against humidity, high temperatures, UV radiation, and mechanical strain.
Robust outdoor housings from the ECS series are the ideal solution for protecting sensitive electronics used in indoor and outdoor applications from dust, dirt, and water.
Universal housings from the UCS series are the ideal solution for embedded systems. The IP40 housings reliably protect PCBs in standard form factor from external influences. Removable side panels allow modular housing solutions in custom installed heights. Passive heatsinks and thermal simulation are possible.
The Monitoring Case System (MCS) is a sophisticated housing solution for a wide range of electronics in industry and building technology. The empty enclosure is impressive on all levels – from fast PCB installation and simple mounting to easy device maintenance.
Customization of your electronic devices
Benefit from personal advice and comprehensive services for the following subjects.
From mechanical processing with state-of-the-art milling machines through tool inserts in the existing master tool to the customized design individual housing components, we offer you the perfect process for a cost-effective implementation of your housing variant.
We also produce electronics housings in colors other than the standard colors, either completely or as a combination of different colored housing parts. Our ability to reproduce your own company color maximizes your brand recognition value.
We offer you the perfect process for implementing your requirements in a way that is both visually appealing and cost-effective: from functional printing, to applying your customer logo, through to photorealistic printing.
To deliver a solution tailored to your specific requirements, it is sometimes necessary to replace individual standard housing parts with customer-specific designs. We develop housing components in accordance with your specifications and combine them with proven standard components.
A high packing density in the electronics requires efficient cooling. Benefit from expert advice in the early stages of development, an intuitive web platform for thermal simulation, and heatsinks that can be individually integrated.
The importance of electronics housings is increasing as more and more electronics need to be packaged. The housings enable the customer to give their electronic system a personality. And this brand recognition is more important than ever for our customers.

Technical principles of electronics housings
Solutions for DIN rail applications
Electronics housings are an elementary part of a device. They determine its appearance and protect the electronics from external influences. In addition, they enable assembly in superordinate units. Device manufacturers must therefore pay attention to many details, and not only in the design, but also in the choice of housing when it comes to materials and quality testing. This brochure provides you with all the details.
Ideal for numerous applications
Our solutions are as individual as your applications: benefit from housings that are suitable for use in a variety of environments – from buildings, to industry, through to outdoor areas.
DIN rail housings for control cabinet applications
In addition to field housings, we also provide a wide range of DIN rail housings. They protect the installed PCBs, can be easily mounted on DIN rails, and offer perfectly integrated interfaces for transmitting signals, data, and power.
